"NIC card"
"DNS server"

Minor peeve, but the C stands for CARD and the S stands for SERVER

ATM Machine

Honestly I have never made anything from thekitchn that isn't delicious.

whenever I'm searching for a recipe, I do rank them p high when looking at oodles of google results. They're one of the 'can't go wrong'

@mietze

Would a shepherd's pie-type dish that uses lentils work? I can try to dig up my recipe for it. When I was eating vegetarian, it became a go-to (it can be made vegan) because it was honestly super tasty. The lentils aren't like, doctored-to-be-replacements. They are still def. lentils, but it's that warm filling tons of veggies and potatoes that is shepherd's pie (.......now I want shepherd's pie).

so to balance the 'ugh presentations' in the other thread:

I wore my Destiny 2 hoodie the other day and a coworker recognized it, so we chatted about the game some (tho I haven't played after hitting some burnout last spring).

Today I was the first one to a meeting, dialed in, was working away at my presentation. He walked in and began chatting at me all excited about an exotic he got last night.

We didn't notice when someone called in to the conference line until the "Uhhhh, guys?"

I think he's excited/happy to have someone to chat about Destiny with at work and it's kinda nice (for me) to have someone to talk to about non-work things. Helps me feel a little more integrated.

I don't wanna do a presentation on Monday

@Tinuviel Maybe, but better than being paranoi--wait-- are you /that/ person? Is this a setup?

@Tinuviel is the sassy gay friend of MSB, so it is entirely possible.

Dr office waiting rooms are just anxiety purgatory

honestly, not so much anger as sad. going in to the first holiday season since my parents moved across the country, so i'm gonna be spending all of it alone. which isn't so great or fun, and super sad. i am a grown adult so i shouldn't be so sad but. eh.

I mean my family sucks, but I still sort of mope every Thanksgiving because it's cemented in my memory from childhood as that holiday where we'd all gather at my mom's or dad's side and eat tons of food and cousins and-

like, even when everything else sucked it was the one time of year where I was full of food and everything was cool, so sure! grown-ass adult, but them's was good times. So I get it. It's okay to be sad during the holidays. There's a reason that call centers get a spike in calls from people just wanting to chat during the holidays.

Keywords are the thing.

There are websites out there (I honestly cannot remember them and I am sorry; perhaps someone else here can!) wherein you can load in the job listing and your resume and the site will tell you if your resume is keyword dense enough for the listing.

Because almost every single company out there just feeds incoming resumes through software to decide who gets to go to stage 2 (aka interviews). What your resume looks like, etc. etc. pretty much doesn't matter anymore. It's stupid. It's why I hate resumes.

All that truly, actually matters, is making sure the formula behind the 'reader' software being used will pick up on the right keywords.

fuck resumes

@Ghost said in RL Anger:

and hot guy.

By hot guy he means sweat, y'all.

Don't go getting riled up.

@Ghost said in RL Anger:

@Auspice said in RL Anger:

@Alamias you're also relatively new!

hand-waves New is relative. I was here at the start of MSB and also back on WORA, I was just on hiatus for a few years. But, I get what you are putting down.

WELL AREN'T YOU FANCY.

Lurkers don't count.

@Tinuviel said in RL Anger:

I must be seriously unpopular. Nobody tells me anything about anyone else's personal life.

Or you were so drunk on Pepsi-Whiskey you forgot.

@Alamias you're also relatively new!

I don't hear from people constantly. It's more an every-few-weeks thing, but it's often enough that it's... unsettling.

..................

My wedding reception is this Saturday. Two of my friends aren't coming, and I just found out why in a Discord of our RL, local friends because they asked if someone could dog-sit for them.

They're going to a fucking LARP.

Seriously, screw you guys.

Like I said: shit like this is why I kinda hate LARPs. There are people who rate them way too fucking high in priority.

Fuck 'em.

Take 'em off errthing. Christmas card lists. Phone lists. Whateverlists.

@RightMeow said in RL Anger:

@Tinuviel Well... see. You said it depends what I put -IN- my whiskey and then said she wouldn't forgive for the Pepsi incident. So something put in Pepsi....

It's been a long week/year. I promise it made sense and was inappropriately funny. SHEESH. Okay, probably not, but I tried?

Instead of a 'Jack and Coke,' @Tinuviel had a 'Jack and Pepsi.'

This is why Australians were sent to live in a place full of death.

@RightMeow said in RL Anger:

@Auspice I like cats, wine is iffy. I'm more a whiskey drinker or a shots taker. Do I -have- to have a sordid tale? The year's almost over and it seems like a lot of work.

Yes. One.

Get out there! It's cuffing season!

Our TS can be your tale.

@Tinuviel said in RL Anger:

@Auspice I was working under the assumption that you didn't have one.

All wine drinking cat ladies have at least one sordid tale.

I hate how it's been roughly a year and I still get messages from people about my sex life that I shared with someone on this board in confidence.

How has everyone around here enjoyed knowing about that btw?
